In this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Erwin de Grave and Dr Steve Jeffs sit down with Dr Nat Green, a clinical and health psychologist turned trauma breakthrough coach, to explore the science and practice of moving from trauma to post-traumatic growth. Drawing on over 35 years of experience, Dr Green shares how frustration with traditional long-term trauma therapy led her to embrace coaching, positive psychology, and innovative techniques for faster, deeper healing.

She introduces her Seven Archetypes of Transformation, a framework that helps individuals understand their innate coping styles and challenges, and discusses the “three brains” model — head, heart, and gut — as a powerful tool for restoring integration and resilience after adversity. Dr Green also shines a light on vicarious trauma in helping professions, offering strategies for burnout prevention and self-care, while underscoring the importance of nervous system regulation in recovery.

Listeners will leave with a new perspective on trauma — not as a life sentence, but as a potential catalyst for strength, self-awareness, and growth.
